Can't execute files in windows partitions from Ubuntu

Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 inside Windows. I can't execute files in my Windows NTFS partitions. It gives the following error:

root@ubuntu:/media/rakesh/Data/My Codes/Test# ./a.out 
bash: ./a.out : Permission denied

I have tried solutions in the following threads but it does not work:

• How do I use 'chmod' on an NTFS (or FAT32) partition?
• Why does Ubuntu refuse to execute files from an NTFS partition?
• .exe file permission fail

Answer 1

This is common with ntfs mounted partitions. You have to mount the partition with executable rights.

Try this article: .exe file permission fail
